A Thunderbirds Extravaganza

Woah-oh! It's the titles to Thunderbirds! And - you guessed it - they're in foreign again. This time: Japanese - and they've made up a title song to go with it....



No tune like this would be complete without a lyric sheet: so hit "play" and sing along:
sundah bah-doh, ah-oku hikallu hii-lo-y uchu--eh you-keh kaze wo maite
sundah bah-doh, konoyo-no shiawa-seh no tame-eh ni you-keh umi-eh lliku-ni

ah-o-i sora-wo mida-su mono-wa dah-le-kah
yonn-de-illu ano koeh-wa eh-su o eh-su dah

sundah bah-doh, ah-oku hikallu hii-lo-y uchu--eh you-keh kaze wo maite
And, as a kind of detox to all that I give you one of the finest pieces of comedy the BBC has ever made - Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's classic SuperThunderStingCar sketch. Pure genius.
